Married.-May Goth, 1883, John Finley
nd Miss Lizzie Summers, at the home of
the bride. Rev. w. W. Armstrong offici-
ating. Miss Lizzie Summers is niece of
County Clerk. W. H. Summers. The &C.
casion passed off happily. and quite a
number of presents were received by the
happy pair. The CAT extends a wish of
life OF unslloyed felicity to the parties.
We learn on reliable source that there
now exists in Sherman county secret
alliance of the farmers of that county.
The purpose of the organization is to
pick out new town to vote as the COun
ty seat next fall election. This puts a
new phase on the political arena over
there, and if they stick together may
cause something unexpected. 1t is
doubtful however, if they remain in uni
son long enough to produce any effective
results.
Decoration day was magnifcently OBJ
served at Colby. At 1 p. m. the G. A. r.
ArmOry was packed with people from
the city and every part of the county.

singers.
Prof. Brown, of Jerseyville. Ills. assist
ed with violin. The singing was fine
throughout; the rendering Of "a Faded
Coat of Blue" by Mrs. Chas. NJ Hovey,
deserves especial mention. 1t touched
the heart of every one IN the audience.
Addresses were delivered by Hon. ]. E.
Doom, Hon. W. H. Marble and w. II.
Markham. Messrs Doom and Markham
at length portrayed the realities of the
late wal, through which they went. Had
We space they would be published this

After the close of the exercises at the
Armory the G. A. R. post, together with
citizens, and headed by the Colby Cor
net Band marched to Beulah Cemetery
to decorate the soldiers graves, which
was done in a solemn and fitting manner.
The G. A. R showed itself capable of
presenting an entertainment worthy of
much larger post, and older.
Colby is proud of such display of pa
triOtism and remembrance of former
times that tried mems souls
Long live the soldier who fought and
bled that the Union might be preserved
